    Why are some people so happy in their mug shot? Are they planning to use it for political clout?

        Yup. They don’t give a flying fuck about honesty or integrity. That’s been proven time and time again.

        The issue is when it comes to trial it does the exact opposite. I’ve heard time and time again to be nothing but stoic if you ever get booked because the prosecution will claim you smiling in your mugshot shows you have no remorse.

      short answer would be they aren’t taking it seriously, and it helps support their ‘fake trial’ stance.
